Yeah, it's based off how quick it gets them. If it gets more than 100 loves in 24 hours, it gets blacklisted from trending. That's the new algorithm they changed in June.

Have you been told this, or is it just speculation?

No one official has told me this, but it seemed like it got changed in June, because Dhilly's new project in June, along with huntedskelly's new project, and a few more other scratcher's projects, didn't get on the Trending page in June, even though they all got 500+ loves in one day. From seeing this on multiple projects, I have found out about this glitch. However, this glitch can be bypassed by resharing your project.

I asked

Brad-Games’s latest project is also missing from trending, and had over 1000 hearts in the first day

i think ik why, perhaps it got 100 views in 24hrs, but got 250 in 7d so um yeah, did the project get a lot of views for quite a while or did it just get that 100 and die?

Oh. What did he say about it?

Correct. It got more than 100 loves in its first 24 hours, so it got blacklisted from trending. It probably would have been #1 on trending if blacklisting on trending didn't exist. This is one of the reasons I want the bug to be fixed, because highly anticipated projects like Brad's project can't get on trending anymore.

We're talking about loves, not views.

Even if the Scratch team knows/knew about this, I don’t know if they would fix it because they might want less known Scratchers to get views instead of famous Scratchers (no offense)

I think Scratch Team is trying to fix it, but, you can't fix something without knowing what is causing the problem. I believe the Scratch Team consists of moderators, developers, etc. Not just mods. So, it's not really Scratch Team's fault.

same thing really, just think of it as loves; 100 loves in 24hrs, but 250 in 7d.

I mean like, the project never shows on trending ever. I'm not talking about it going down.

yeah, why?

I'm not sure why it was changed. If it was intentional, then it probably was to promote less popular scratchers, because all the popular scratchers kept getting on the trending page.

The “promote less popular scratchers” thing doesnt work 100%… I still see several trash projects made by popular scratchers go on trending… im not saying all of their projects is trash, just that particular one.

The trending algrothim might do stuff depending on how many followers the person, That might be why griffpatch and other eople in scratch might not be on trending

Its not by followers, because @Brad-Games's countdown of his game got on trending, but the actual game didn't.

I'm going to close this topic now, because @RokCoder made a better topic on this glitch, and all the other glitches of the Trending page (https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/458541/) and it's talking about the glitches better than this topic is.
